Officer Thomas Connor – Parma Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In March 2016, Officer Thomas Connor was involved in the arrest of Anthony Novak, who created a parody Facebook page mocking the Parma Police Department. Connor obtained search and arrest warrants for Novak, leading to his arrest and prosecution. Novak was acquitted at trial and subsequently filed a civil-rights lawsuit alleging First and Fourth Amendment violations. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals allowed the lawsuit to proceed, indicating potential misconduct in Connor’s actions.
